Hammerspoon – Lua-based powerful tool automation of macOS

  Staggeringly powerful macOS desktop automation with Lua

  

I've used ZeroBrane to debug HS in the past: https://github.com/Hammerspoon/hammerspoon/issues/1268

  7 536 4.8 Fennel

  Hammerspoon config inspired by Spacemacs

I'm a big fan of hammerspoon, but not so much Lua. I also use emacs with Doom, where a lot of bindings are behind a 'leader key'. I found an awesome framework called 'spacehammer'[1] that fits very well into the way I like to work. It similarly hides binding behind a leader, and it's written in Fennel, a lisp that compiles to Lua. I feel like I get to expand the customizability of Emacs out to my whole system and I love it. Hammerspoon is pretty bare on its own so I suggest you check out spacehammer even if it's just a show case of the potential of hammerspoon.

Hammerspoon is fantastic. And Lua is a such a fun little language to program in. And with LuaJIT [0] you can run it on your nginx webserver [1] at basically the speed of C code. It's really a marvel of engineering.

  Cross-platform Text Expander written in Rust

  

I have been enjoying espanso[1], which at first glance is just a text-expanding keystoke saver, but can run shell scripts when it's doing its thing. So I can type :extip anywhere and it will curl ipinfo.io then pipe the json response through jq -r and leave my current external IP in whatever app I was typing in.

  A lightweight macOS window and app manager scriptable with JavaScript (by kasper)

I've been using Phoenix (https://github.com/kasper/phoenix), which is hackable in JavaScript and has a smaller scope (only window management), but haven't found it compelling enough to keep hacking at my config, so I'm back to Moom (https://manytricks.com/moom/), which would be perfect if it supported chaining sequences of sizing instructions (i.e., tile a window twice to the left to turn it from 1/2 to 1/3 width).

  My config, system settings, utilities, etc. (by kbd)

If anyone cares, here's my config: https://github.com/kbd/setup/blob/master/HOME/.hammerspoon/i...

It shows off a tiny bit of what you can do with Hammerspoon:

- window and app management

• dot-hammerspoon

I believe this is the implementation I based mine on: https://github.com/zzamboni/dot-hammerspoon/blob/master/init...

• Spoons

Not OP, but I found this after a little bit of searching:

Shouldn't be that hard to spawn a terminal with this running from hammerspoon.

Here's some Spoons that handle translation:

  3 16 4.5 Lua

  A hammerspoon config with a bunch of custom spoons (sleep timer, resolution changer, paywall buster, safari hotkey utilities, window management with undo, etc). (by nonissue)

My pretty extensive (but poorly organized) config:

Features include:

• dotfiles

  1 2 9.2 Python

• delta

  88 20,617 8.4 Rust

  A syntax-highlighting pager for git, diff, and grep output

Don't miss https://github.com/dandavison/delta. I use gui diff tools much less nowadays because I can get such great diffs in the terminal.
